The rhyme scheme of this kyrielle has been modified slightly...

Won't look a stranger in the eye She never ever would say Hi Security is tight at home Ten hidden cameras eyes do roam Afraid to let her children play Outside where they might go astray Inside she fears the internet Where bullies are a constant threat She prays that school is really safe She's heard the shots; she's read of rape And once it's dark, she draws the shades She's terrified when night invades ******** To rural village she has fled No more suburban life to dread Iambic Tetrameter

This is kind of where a lot of people are right now with assault rifles being purchased by whatever deranged fool wants one.

We've come full circle. From gravitating to the cities to gravitating as far away as possible.

Excellently penned Gershon.Pretty much sums up where we are as a society. Well done! As usual a poem of the highest calibre. Best wishes Ron
